China Media Group announced(公布) the theme and logo for the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. 11 The theme is “Galloping Steed, Onward Unstoppable(骐骥驰骋，势不可挡)”.
“Qi Ji” is an ancient way to call a “thousand-mile horse” in Chinese. In China’s culture, the thousand-mile horse stands for three good qualities: running fast, having strong spirit, and being full of power. 12 So the theme also carries the hope of creating a wonderful future.
This theme shows the hopeful spirit of our times. 13 The idea comes from an old poem “Li Sao” by the poet Qu Yuan. In it, the poet rides a strong horse forward—a sign of bravery(勇气) and leading the way.
The logo is made with classic cloud and thunder designs. 14 You can arrange(排列) the logo in different ways. It can look like thousands of horses charging ahead with energy(蓄势待发), sharing the unique beauty of the East.
